Laced with irony and dark situational humor, the show approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who owns and operates a funeral home in Los Angeles. Peter Krause stars as Nate, who reluctantly becomes a partner in the funeral home after his father's death.

Critics Consensus

Six Feet Under's deliberately paced second season is less endearing than the first, but the engaging ensemble remain reason enough to watch.

Catherine Dawson March Globe and Mail Mar 30, 2020
Six Feet Under has us pondering the end of life, but also questions how alive we are in life. That it's done with a clever mix of quirky comedy and heady drama makes the HBO series one you don't want to miss Go to Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 2, 2018
... it's clear that the series has left Waugh for Samuel Beckett. After which, amazing television, it could go absolutely anywhere. Go to Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News Nov 17, 2017
4/5
The characters have become so real, and the twists so involving, that three times while watching these episodes I gasped in shock and disbelief. Go to Full Review Les Wright culturevulture.net Nov 7, 2017

Esqueleto5678 T @RT15316404 Sep 12, 2026 Masterpiece. I didn’t think it could surpass the phenomenon that Season 1 was, but it did. Excellent pacing, excellent character development, and an excellent storyline. The final arc was beautiful. It’s an incredibly consistent season from beginning to end, with perfect dialogue and deeper meanings throughout. I absolutely loved it. 10/10. See more Pablo Y @Pablo1996 Nov 8, 2023 Una continuación perfecta, que cuenta con los mejores rasgos de la temporada original. See more Max W @RT65350549 Jun 20, 2023 slower pace and more character driven, but this made the drama all the better. Looking forward to season 3 See more Jul 27, 2021 One of those rare perfect shows. 10/10 See more Nov 2, 2020 "CON UN PASO MAS LENTO SIGUE DESARROLANDO Y CAMBIANDO" A pesar que no sorprende tanto como la primera temporada, esta segunda parte sigue con el desarrollo de los personajes y sus contextos, aparte de voltearte la situación haciendo que personajes que te gustaban caigan de tu agrado y viceversa, pero lo que si tiene de diferente esta segunda temporada es que a mitad del camino se vuelve mas densa y tétrica con momentos que te llegan a los mas hondo de tu humanidad, y con ese final que simplemente no puedo esperar para ver que sea mentira porque si no, no podre con la decepción y la melancolía, en definitiva me parece mas una temporada de transición preparando y ablandando el suelo para dar paso a una apoteósica tercera parte. See more Apr 5, 2020 Like others have wrote, not as good as season 1. Brenda, Billy, Nikolai and Ruth's characters are extremely annoying, but David's and Claire's dating lives are pretty funny. Not nearly as good as S1 but still better than most shows. See more Read all reviews
